Olivia Munn "Playboy Babe of the Month"


Olivia Munn was just another struggling actress/television personality when she successfully landed a cohosting gig on G4’s ever-popular Attack of the Show in 2006. Olivia has since become one of the most in-demand figures in the network’s history. In addition to her various G4 duties -- including a daily podcast called Around the Net -- Olivia Munn continues to pursue acting roles in her off-hours, including a recurring role on the TV series, Beyond the Break and a role opposite Rob Schneider in Big Stan (2007).

Where do we start? Olivia Munn oozes sensuality, and although she’d surely be a perfect fit within the modeling world, she’s managed to bring an unprecedented amount of raw sexuality to basic cable. And she has appeared within the pages of countless magazines wearing exceedingly little. Olivia Munn was even featured in Playboy as a Babe of the Month, a title that’s been bestowed on such infamous hotties as Christina Aguilera, Katie Holmes and Ali Landry.


Olivia Munn was born on July 2, 1982, in Oklahoma. Her parents divorced while she was still a toddler, and Olivia was soon forced to adopt a nomadic existence after her mother married a man in the Air Force. Although the clan moved from base to base, Olivia spent the majority of her adolescence in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo, Japan. Olivia’s passion for the entertainment world has been in place virtually since childhood, and the would-be performer took her first steps toward a career in the spotlight by appearing in a number of local theater productions. Olivia Munn’s growing confidence was cemented once she hit puberty, as the young girl soon found herself blessed with the sort of looks that cause men to stop and stare. She parlayed her beauty into a burgeoning career as a model within the Japanese fashion industry, though it became increasingly clear to Olivia that she wanted to do more with her life than just pose for the cameras. To that end, Olivia moved to Los Angeles in 2004, and began to look for work within the entertainment industry.

Carolina Ardohain "Argentinian Pampita"



It is only within the last couple of years that "Pampita," as Ardohain is also affectionately known, has broken through into the North American market. Prior to that, she maintained her status as an Argentinean sensation by posing for several lingerie companies, hosting TV shows like El Rayo and El Sitio, and impressively beating out other celebrities to become the official mascot, or "godmother," of Argentina's national soccer team for its World Cup appearance in 2002. The combo of beauty and drive that Ardohain brought to the table could only be contained for so long and soon, the Argentinean market became too small for her. She has broken through into broader markets and, barely into adulthood, she can claim features in Stuff and Maxim UK. By dominating Argentina's magazine covers, including Cosmopolitan, as a high-class glamour model, Ardohain has set the bar high for her forays on the international scene. Only time will tell if this luscious Latina can break on through.



Born on January 17th, 1981 in Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina (home of models like Valeria Mazza and Ines Rivero), Ana Carolina Ardohain Dos Santos grew up with lofty aspirations. Despite being surrounded by an environment beset with social problems and unrest, little Carolina held fast to her dream of becoming a star, in any capacity. She completed primary and secondary school, and became well established in a local ballet school, where she practiced for nine years. Her passion for dancing has remained with her until today, and helped her gain composure in her now public life
When she was in her late teens, Ardohain became interested in a local clothing brand that was publicly requesting non-models to be part of an upcoming ad campaign. As she already worked as a saleswoman at one of the brand's stores, she already had the inside track and landed a spot in the advertisements. When they hit the stores in late 1999, legendary South American modeling agent Pancho Dotto was struck with Ardohain's killer look and subsequently exhausted all resources to find her. When Dotto finally got a hold of Ardohain via telephone, a deal was struck in a matter of minutes. She signed on with the Dotto Models agency and that same day, attended and booked a contract with an international company. Five days later, she was flown to Mexico to film the subsequent commercial. Just like that, a star was born.
